[unclear: Li] deserves full marks for pushing [unclear: If] But just what is it pushing? Kathy [unclear: Hpa] reviews the recent Social Credit [unclear: rence].

[unclear: he] leadership claimed it was the most [unclear: jflnt] conference yet, and the media [unclear: ed] it up. From a publicity point of [unclear: teh] that's a good claim to make and [unclear: al] Credit does it well: the claim has [unclear: i] made every year since 1974 and it will [unclear: be] to be made for at least another two [unclear: s] yet.

[unclear: sking] in the glory of a small-vote, [unclear: ll] lead over National in the not-even- [unclear: ran] stakes of a safe Labour seat, the [unclear: gue] elected its youngest ever President [unclear: rd] its youngest ever speaker. It also [unclear: lucted] the conference at the Avondale course, a home of (one of) the oldest Sessions in the world.

[unclear: jt] it's not gambling that Socred want [unclear: o] engage in. Quite the contrary. The NZ [unclear: al] Credit Political League's publicity [unclear: hine] has made a subtle leap forward, have been told for some time now that the only party with a real programme the future. This used to be because Nail and Labour are both the same.

[unclear: ow] look at the rhetoric. It's good, and [unclear: popular] Socred joins with National to [unclear: id] Labour an "apology" for "State [unclear: dism]", and echoes Labour's claim that [unclear: onal] espouses "priveleged and elitist [unclear: rprise]". Implication: with these [unclear: rrences], Socred is the middle, sensible, [unclear: rcssive] party to unite New Zealand. [unclear: ial] Credit is not Right or Left, but [unclear: rd,]" as the League's research Officer Hunter claimed.
